On Beyond OWL: Challenges for Ontologies on the Web

In this slide presentation, the author argues that "the need for ontologies in the real world is manifest and increasing". This talk explores some of these needs on the Web-scale in data integration, emerging technologies, and Linked Data applications. It also asks an important question – where are the features needed for these found in OWL? The talk ends with some challenges to the OWL – and greater ontology – community to help increase the use of standard ontologies on the Web.
